Tomato Jos's Journey to Producing a Truly Nigerian Tomato Paste

Agripreneur Mira Mehta and her team at Tomato Jos have worked hard to produced a Nigeria-made tomato paste from locally grown tomatoes. Mehta says Prosper Africa has been instrumental in helping Tomato Jos raise the money for its factory. Prosper Africa's support and investment in the success of the company was key in attracting more investors and showing them the vision, value and prospects for Tomato Jos. AllAfrica's Sethi Ncube spoke with Mehta about the journey to creating value for the company, local farmers and Nigerian consumers.
